As long as Wright continues to step it up I have all the confidence in the world in him right now moving forward. He's been playing like the player I expected prior to this season starting. I'm very happy with Wright's performance right now. Same goes with Weems. I just think he's a little too jumpshot happy. Want to see him drive more.

This will make it interesting. It is certainly not a sure thing in Indy tomorrow without DD and Turk. But I am also concerned about the New Jersey game the next day. It could mean a lot of minutes two days in a row for a couple guys who aren't used to playing big minutes. Especially with Indy playing small, and our injuries on the wing. I think it is likely we will see a little more Jack/Calderon back court tomorrow.

I think maybe Jay is letting Demar rest so he's able to participate in the Dunk-In. Jay has already suggested that Demar has healed very quickly and Demar has posted on his twitter that he's feeling great. I'm sure safety definitely plays a part but no way would the team let Demar miss the rookie game AND the dunk contest.

As much as i believe that having dd in the starting lineup is best for his development...Weems is a better shooter and in the last couple games has shown he can create... he would be more beneficial for the team especially come playoff time

I agree that DD should come off the bench for now until his ankle heals, but he's been shooting the ball really well lately. His 10-15 foot jumper has been really solid as of late. His 3 still needs work, but I don't know if Weems is really a better shooter than DD. Both are average shooters for SG in the NBA. I think that they both give us hustle, athleticism and quickness, but Demar is a better offensive player. Just look at Weems' scoring. His best performance was last game at 13 points when he started. Demar is averaging 9+ ppg and has had a number of games of 18 points or better. I think the argument shouldn't be who is the better shooter, but who is the better defender. I think that is where Sonny outshines Demar right now.

Man, it's nice to see Wright finally performing at the level we have been hearing he can play at! As for Weems, I'm not sure about him being jump shot happy, not recently anyways. I mean he seems for the most part to be taking clean, open, high % looks and basically taking what the defense gives him. They are falling so I'm not gonna complain right now. But yeah, I would like to see him be more aggressive and take it to the rim. He's athletic and capable of doing it so why not?
